Vanessa Williams and Billy Joel Both Got Married On July Fourth

This weekend was quite busy for the two singers.

This Fourth of July was doubly special for Vanessa Williams and Billy Joel, as both celebs tied the knot this weekend.

After announcing her engagement on The Queen Latifah Show last fall, Williams married Jim Skrip on Saturday. The Ugly Betty alum and former Miss America held her nuptials at a church in Buffalo, New York.

And Williams wasn't the only singer to take a trip down the aisle that day. The Piano Man himself turned his annual Independence Day party into a surprise wedding when he and Alexis Roderick got hitched at his Long Island estate.
